How to Make a Zero-Gravity Skirt ♡ [For Cosplay Costumes]

Here’s an idea for creating a cute, softly flared skirt silhouette without using a petticoat.

First, cut your fabric according to the pattern.

Prepare two pieces each of 80-denier tulle, outer fabric, and lining.

Sew each pair together, leaving out the section where the zipper will go.

Layer them so that the tulle is on top, then the lining, then the outer fabric.

Sew together at the hem, attach the waistband, and you’re done! The shape is super cute, so try making it with red fabric with white polka dots.
